Help my 6 month baby won’t sleep without being fed to sleep

[Olivie3]

Hi
I am struggling to find a way to stop feeding my baby to sleep without the crying out method, she wakes at least 4 times a night and she wants feeding, it’s the only way she goes back to sleep as I know that’s what she is used to.
she did start to get better around 4 months then became ill and it started all over again
This is my 3rd baby and my last 2 fed until 14 months, this time I would like to do things different as I am really struggling with sleep deprivation, causing anxiety.
Any advice please how anyone successful did it I would really appreciate

No advice- just in the same boat, i have a 8 month old who is terrible at sleeping and only wants to be fed to sleep, and wakes when i move her to her cot and wants feeding again so have to take her out her cot and just keep going like that until she is absolutely knackered and finally stays asleep in her cot, my older 4 were bottle fed so by 8 months i could pass them their bottles and they would fall back to sleep in their own cots, so this is uncharted territory for me, although i would like to keep breastfeeding till she is one i am contemplating switching her to bottle (although she wont suck from a bottle, she just chews the teat) so will have a few sleepless crying nights if i switch her, just too tired for the battle at the moment lol xx

Totally feel your pain, too tired to know what to do!
my baby won’t take a bottle or dummy just using me as a human dummy!

This is totally normal, my toddler only stopped feeding to sleep at 20 months ?

I think they are designed to feed to sleep at this age and 14 months is quite normal for shifting to other ways of falling asleep. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. This is just how babies are. You will transition to other things but probably not at this age.

Yes my dd won’t take a dummy either, she just plays with it like a chew toy lol, can’t catch up in the day naps either as she generally only sleeps for 20/30 mins, i think its a case of wait it out and hope they get into a better sleep routine 😴 been 4 months now for me, thankfully im not too bad on zero sleep, used to it over the years i suppose lol xx
